A federal judge said Wednesday he may order Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton to testify under oath about whether she used a private email server as secretary of state to evade public records disclosures.
U.S. District Court Judge Emmet G. Sullivan signed an order granting a request from the conservative legal advocacy group Judicial Watch to question six current and former State Department staffers about the creation and purpose of the private email system. Those on the list were some of Clinton's closest aides during her tenure as the nation's top diplomat, including former chief of staff Cheryl D. Mills, deputy chief of staff Huma Abedin and undersecretary Patrick F. Kennedy.
Also set to testify is Bryan Pagliano, the agency employee who was tasked with setting up the clintonemail.com server located in the basement of the New York home Clinton shares with her husband, former President Bill Clinton. Pagliano has previously refused to testify before Congress, citing his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.

Got it!
Thanks!
She is above the law-rule of law is for commoners.
Four of her aides have the same lawyer. The others including Abedin ???? Articles say there are pluses and minuses to that. It looks like an attempt to prevent anyone from turning snitch for immunity.
Why bother? The smartest woman in the world simply will “not recall.”
As usual she will take the ‘fifth’, or act really really dumb.
Either way, she’ll not get anything but a slap on the wrist, if that much.
“I am the world’s smartest woman, but I do not recall.
Not only that, I do not recall that I do not recall.
The Vast Right Wing Conspiracy is out to get me, again.
Now, I must go back to do the work of the American people.......”
She’s been under oath before - anything that has the possibility of incriminating her will get the response “I can’t recall”. Bet on it.
At least in the criminal case,
David Kendall and Sid “vicious” Blumenthal need to be interviewed for their roles in handling secrete information without clearance. Plus Kendall maybe even destroying it.
“...about whether she used a private email server as secretary of state to evade public records disclosures.”
Why wouldn’t she simply lie and say “No, it was for convenience.” ??
> Kind of defeats the purpose if all are singing the same tune as instructed by their lawyer.
It’s going to be interesting to see how well this in-your-face witness tampering flies in court.
> Why wouldn’t she simply lie and say “No, it was for convenience.” ??
Because she registered the domain a week before she took office, which blows any “convenience” argument out of the water.
True!
Prediction: if the questioning ever happens, she’ll try that lie anyway.
A Sparks, Nevada company that destroys documents & HARD DRIVES claims that Hillary has done business with them. For less that $200, she destroyed material. In the past 5 years.
